On the wall, you and I both have a political problem, Trump told Peña Nieto. My people stand up and say, Mexico will pay for the wall, and your people probably say something in a similar but slightly different language I have to have Mexico pay for the wall I have to. I have been talking about it for a two-year period.
Peña Nieto, however, was resistant to this and again insisted that his government would not pay for the wall.
My position has been and will continue to be very firm, saying that Mexico cannot pay for the wall, he told Trump.
But you cannot say that to the press, Trump insisted. The press is going to go with that, and I cannot live with that.

You should have maybe given that a thought or two BEFORE you spent two years repeating that line over and over. You pretty much taught your fans to yell out that phrase by asking them to say it! They were only so happy to please you. And bless your heart, you only forgot one thing. You forgot to ask Mexico how they felt about your crown jewel chant. Too bad, Bucko, that it has now come back to bite you on the ass. My heart cries.....

Maybe that's what Trump was speaking about.

(63,221 posts)No dipshit, it is not similar but slightly different. It's is a completely different language altogether. Remember? That's one of the reasons you don't want to let them in the country.

(58,713 posts)it validates them. That's why they choose to hang out with other liars and not truthful people who won't lie for them.
Trump lies, it's what he does. This isn't even about money. Trump "should" have known that he was lying when he said that, and probably "should" have known that his gullible supporters would believe him and expect him to come through for them.
Nobody who really understands the situation really wants the wall.

(4,066 posts)For someone who claims to be a great negotiator he should have known that he had nothing in this exchange. Nothing of value to Pena Nieto. Trump was begging for something with no bargaining chips at all.

(2,034 posts)Begging Mexico to PRETEND that they will pay for the wall, just so he can hoodwink the cult45ers!
I know they will scream #fakenews and cover their ears, but this is the same WaPo that brought Nixon down! the truth will come out eventually, whether you get the revolution you wanted or not...
